Comment on The U.S. Constitution is like a legacy piece of software written by hand and published in 1787.

It’d be great if that were true. Code only ever does one thing, but the US constitution doesn’t really DO anything. It’s just some vague concepts that were supposed to be revised later on, but now people just twist that vagueness into supporting their own goals.
Just rewrite the damn this instead of treating it like a holy book meant to be interpreted by the clergy.

I politely disagree! Code contains rules and instructions for computers to follow. The constitution contains rules and instructions for humans to follow.
